Love bacon... can spam


I decided to start posting angry submissions as a result of the spam I receive. Yesterday, I made a call to Nutrisystem as I was still receiving unsolicited emails after requesting privacy four times previous. The woman on the phone was not educated. We got in an argument over the spelling of feedback. "I already spelt it" she said... I just want you to." SPELT??? I am not interested in a specific type of wheat. I want out of your list. I am 5'9" and weigh ~150. I don't care to lose weight. So I told her to go back and get her high school proficiency after she "axed" me to spell it one more time. And then I called back.

I got this time a woman who insisted she couldn't get me to the technical department, and asked me for my name. I refused knowing it was another avenue for them to "market" their product. I explained how domains work, and how spam engines like the one they are using select a large list of domains and blast names like info, feedback, webmaster, etc. with their "info". She finally got it and put me on hold. When she came back she told me she "just couldn't put me in contact with their technical department." AND asked me for my name again. I told her Joe Feedback. She asked me if I had gone to their website. Is there no hope? Is there the equivalent of an online flame-thrower that I could insert in their corporate mail slot and torch the lot?

All I want for Christmas is viagra, cialis, ionic pro, letters to santa, hoodia, all those hot stocks I hear about, glass dildos, blow up dolls, that extra inch, nutrisystem, cheap software, christian singles, pre approval, DVD copiers, Slot machine mysteries uncovered, russian wives, another extra inch, my degree (wait... I already have one), and a full sized portrait of George W. Bush that I can sodomize repeatedly.

Anyone? Anyone?
